As some of you have know, Acoustic Research (AR) is already using its name for marketing cables and accessories. I just realized Klipsch is now using the Energy brand (as in Energy speakers) to market cables as well. See for yourself....

Energy cables, surge protectors, earbuds, etc.

I believe these are only available in Canada, Energy's birthplace. Will Polk Audio follow?

    AR's cables are the worst I've ever tried.

    Polk is in the business of making speakers...and damn good ones.

    They don't need to widen their product base...if they broaden, they wont be as concentrated on their one market spot, i.e. speakers. There are already a plethora of good quality cables out there to choose from anyway.
    The nirvana inducer-
    APC H10 Power Conditioner
    Marantz UD5005 universal player
    Parasound Halo P5 preamp
    Parasound HCA-1200II power amp
    PolkAudio LSi9's/PolkAudio SDA 2A's/PolkAudio Monitor 7A's
    Audioquest Speaker Cables and IC's
